Marshall McLuhan (one of the most brilliant people I've ever known ftf) - and other famous people I know (and no, I'm not going to give you their email addresses)
lights of the 60s like Murray the K, Abbie Hoffman and other cultural and political figures and events of the day, like Kent State - plus some from other decades including in this century
online services that I frequented in the 80s and 90s, for old-times sake
recent deaths, people in breaking news stories, etc. because I know we're going to have a lot of traffic and we have a responsibility to get it right and not embarrass ourselves with inadequate, inaccurate, or blatantly wrong articles
a wide variety of presidential candidates and other political types, their families, and associated topics, although I'm beginning to wonder why - oh, yes, it's for the fame and fortune, that's right... see below for my Cayman Islands plans... uh oh, it's almost 2016, here we go again..... and still no mandatory FLAGGED REVISIONS FOR BLPs??? Isn't it time?
lots more
I also enjoy researching and creating articles for miscellaneous and obscure people and subjects that I had no particular prior interest in, or knowledge of, like Col Joye, Walt Witcover, Harrison J. Goldin and Philip Nadelman (who used to be blue, but seems to have been deleted - oh no!) - and expanding stubs and editing other random articles - for the pure fun of it. And I do my share of vandal-reverting, because people who destroy other people's work really piss me off. I have over 20004000 almost 6000 pages (yikes!) on my watchlist - so if I miss something that you want me to see, please or send me an email.
For good humour and excellence in editing, I present this barnstar to the multitalented and admirably coherent Tvoz. Rossrs 06:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Making a Washington Post story for your vandalism reverting skillz is worthy of a barnstar.[1] Congratulations! B 02:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

For going above and beyond the call of duty to deal with the Hillary Rodham Clinton FAC when the nominator didn't follow up. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar
If only more Wikipedians saw things with the reason and cogency in this talk page edit, this would be a far better project indeed. So what if I'm a little biased because you agreed with me twice...nice job anyway! Frank | talk 00:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
The Epic Barnstar
For another multi-year veteran of the 2008 candidates biographical articles and always-relevant music articles, for continuing to maintain a roaring presence. Wasted Time R (talk) 14:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Sometimes two cents is worth alot more than it seems. Your comments about paid editing broaden the base for communication and discussion and widen the circle of ideas. Thanks for giving yours and providing some personal insight at various WP locations. ```Buster SevenTalk 14:28, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

The Resilient Barnstar
No one deserves to be jumped on like that for simply speaking their mind, especially off-site. Don't let the drama hounds get you down. You do good work here, and you don't deserve to be discouraged from being as candid as you like about your own personal opinions. 66.87.4.63 (talk) 02:19, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Mind the Gap Award
